Abstract
In this talk, I will discuss a model mixture of active (self-propelled) and passive (diffusive) particles with non-reciprocal effective interactions (or forces that violate Newton’s third law). We derive the hydrodynamic PDE limit for the particle densities, which is not a Wasserstein gradient flow of any free energy, consistent with the microscopic model having non-equilibrium steady states. We study the emergence of collective behaviour, which includes phase separation and dynamical (travelling) steady states.
